I put a six pack on saying it has trouble burning. From reading all the marketing, a good carbon fiber tube should not contain any oxygen ? I think you would to put in a fair bitt of effort to get it started !(;

Carbon doesn't burn (there is nothing to burn) but the resin will burn away and you will be left with (basically) the bare fibres/fabric left. The fabric won't stay together though as the binders will have burnt away.

You might want to wear a mask anywhere near the burn, make sure it has filters for organic vapours. Basically, don't get cancer.The resin might not 'burn' like a normal fire, but it may alite and carry a semi-visible flame. You'll certainly smell it. Which is bad.The carbon won't burn though.

Also, a quick search on the internet can pull up what I'm referencing: http://www.aviationfirejournal.com/avia ... azards.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Basically, stay the f*ck away from that burn. Don't eat anything you're putting on that fire. Hell, don't even be anywhere near it. Save your life.

How do I know this sht? I worked in a rapid prototyping lab for a few years (part-time). We had laser cutters among the many tools there... and that's a great way to know what the hazards are in burning various materials, even if it is just a laser cut.
